There are five gambit bounties per day that don't require you to play gambit at all. It's great.

I'd go with the one with backup plan but they're both good.

Normal battery kills up to 6 resilience with 4 bolts, liquid coils up to 8 (Accelerated requires 5 at any resilience, don't use it).

Good thing about Truth is that it let me get my Malfeasance very easily.
Bad thing about Truth is that it's so good that there's not much reason to use Malfeasance in Gambit now if you have Truth, especially if you plan to invade at all.

Highest my pvp main can be right now is 736. I should probably do some dreaming city chores and a few other easy powerful drops before jumping into IB, right? At least be 741 I'm guessing?

Dude the average destiny player can barely shoot mans.

When someone first told me only 6% of Destiny players even attempt raids, at first I was blown away...

Now that seems high.

I've never done a raid cuz I can't figure out how to group up effectively or I burn out on the game and the players move on. I've played both destiny games and have yet to play or complete one.

Average destiny players probably don't have spare time to sink into raids. I've never done one but either couldn't find a team to play with or the mutual time to commit to it.

Blame it on an aging gaming demographic while the younger folks go off and feed their F2P battle royale addiction or something.

On another note that Forsaken DLC finale was a bit of a wet fart. Giant ball of enemy out of nowhere! Even the ambiguous ending is cleared up the moment you speak to the NPC afterwards.

They shoulda left it for me to decide.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

The Xbox phone/iPad app has a remarkably good LFG function that I’ve used many times to find a raid group or build one from scratch. It’s easy and fun just backout if there’s literal children on comms.

I don't understand why they didn't just give Uldren a boss fight, would it really have been that much of a bastard to rig a gun fight with a semi regular dude?

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I used to raid twice a week if not more. It is daunting and seems like a huge time sink at first. But really. Every raid is <1 hour with any average LFG group. If the group is full of new people, it’s the wrong one. You have no obligation to bash your head against the wall with a bad group. Raids are really, really fun.

Download the destiny 2 app it has a built in LFG system that’s constantly active.

Asking in a thread is basically worthless, but Discord has Bots that allow you to leave open signups for activites, anything in the game. This is where the overwhelming bulk of goons find their raiding fireteams.

Between hotdog and overchill we're probably raiding 15-20 times a week across a bunch of different playgroups, although my understanding is that X-Bone is just like 9 retarded kids who all only play crucible and make dank memez.

Bone is all successful career-minded dads and liquid playboys, so getting a raid together can be tough.

Luckily the xbone’s superior native lfg application makes getting a raid with other like minded individuals a snap.

I've been grinding milestones and powerful drops across 3 characters 4-5 hours a night for the last two weeks and just got my first 750 drop last night. I have yet to see anyone with a 750 on their emblem.

Once you're 750, most matchmade activities put you in with other 750s, so it'll seem like everyone's there

I poorly phrased my op, but unless you’re optimizing progression across 3 characters or you’re doing like literally every possible drop on a single and getting a shitload of primes, you’re not 750 on anything

I’ve done every milestone on one guy save for prime/reckoning and raiding, and I’m 744
